10 almonds, shelled & whole are a HEB, or 2 level dsp of flaked almond is a HEB

So a whole pound of almonds would be quite a few syns then

I found this polenta cake recipe. Sounds yummy :T

Sadly things have changed and Polenta (like couscous etc) has to be synned if it's used as a flour substitute (5 syns per 28gms). It's classed as misuse of product.

Thanks for posting those recipes :T

Maybe I should try to get some scan bran after all. Is there an easier to buy alternative. I've never attended a SW meeting

Scan Bran is the only thing known to man with that much fibre in such a small item :rotfl: so I don't think there's any real alternative (can be bought from Holland & Barrett though).

If you buy some, do be sure to drink extra water to help flush it through - one thing's for sure, it'll keep you 'regular' :rotfl:

I just made the couscous cake, and it's really lovely :T

I found some polenta when I was looking for the couscous, I wonder if I can make a cake from that

ready made polenta makes a fab pizza base,
roll it out to desired size and thickness, bake it until it dries out a bit then cover with passata and your favourite toppings and bake again.
you can even kneed in some herbs or garlic or something before you roll it out to give it more flavour.
i lost another 1lb last week so that takes my total to 1 stone 4.5lbs and well pleased with myself lol
